My flat is on Liberty Hill, overlooking the mission and has the best micro-climate in San Francisco. With skylights and floor to ceiling windows in the living area, the space is flooded with light by day, and has expansive views of twinkling city lights by night.

Guest Access

The private bedroom has a Queen size bed with a luxurious pillow top mattress and new linens, and the en-suite bath is stocked with toiletries you may need during your visit. There is plenty of closet and drawer space in case you want to unpack and you have access to a washer and dryer. There is an additional full bath off the hall. The living room/dining area as well as the kitchen and balcony with seating are yours to enjoy while you are here. There is a private garden on the lower level, which provides you with a secluded park-like setting for meditation, reading or sunning.

Interaction with Guests

I am generally available to greet you upon arrival. If you are on the premises or out on the town and need any kind of assistance, I am only a text away. I enjoy getting to know my guests over breakfast. Of course you may have other plans, in which case we will see each other in passing or by arrangement. I have a fantastic housemate, Niels, who travels frequently. There is also a new member of our household as of March 2015, Jing, a 6 month old, extremely shy, small mix breed rescue. She spends most of her time with me in my studio on the lower level of the building.

The Neighborhood

It is absolutely true that if it is nice in San Francisco, it is beautiful in my back yard. I enjoy a walk to Mission Dolores Park every day. There are three distinct neighborhoods within a few blocks, for you to explore boutique shopping and many of the city's finest restaurants.

Getting Around

You are less than 30 minutes from any downtown destination on the street car and it is a pleasant 12 minute stroll to BART and then on to the East Bay or San Francisco International Airport in a flash. Don't tell anyone, but parking is always available on Hill Street.

Other Things to Note

I have posted Check In and Check Out times. If there is anything I can have available for you when you arrive, or you need suggestions where to go and what to do, please do not hesitate to ask.

I ask all guests to have a fully completed verification, Airbnb profile and if you are new to Airbnb and have no reviews, at least one personal recommendation. There is no smoking allowed in the building, however smoking is permitted on the balcony adjacent to the living area, with the doors closed. If you plan to have visitors to Hill Street House, please let me know in advance, your relationship to the visitor(s) and the expected duration of their visit. I will consider small, quiet dogs for an additional $25./night and a $100. security deposit. The dog must remain with you at all times, never left alone in your room. This is only approved case by case so please provide details. You may come and go as you please. However, please respect quiet hours between 11 PM and 7 AM.

Peter was an excellent host. Friendly and personable, he made us feel at home. Our schedule was busy and kept us out of the house a lot, so I regret not having had more time to sit and visit with him. His home is beautiful amd comfortable. It is close enough to where I wanted to be, but just enough removed that the area was peaceful and quiet. I have used Airbnb now for a year and this is the best location that I have stayed at yet. If this home is available when I return here in the future, I would stay here without hesitation. Thank you, Peter!

Lovely room and en-suite in a great part of the city. The steep hills were part of the experience! Very comfortable bed. The views from the main room are fabulous. Peter went out of his way to make us welcome and provided a selection of breakfasts. We were out most of the time during our stay but it would have been lovely to sit on the balcony for longer and take in those views.

My husband and I had a great stay at Peter's wonderful home. The room is spacious and very comfortable - great bed and shower. We felt very welcome in the apartment, which is very nice and has beautiful views. The neighborhood is quiet and accessible to several interesting places within walking distance. Breakfast was delicious and we so enjoyed meeting Peter.

This place is super nice - the views are amazing and Peter is a great host. It is also just a minute away from the Muni stop, which makes it very convenient, and it's just a short walk to Valencia, Castro, and the Mission Dolores park.

The flat is also great, and Peter is a fantastic host. When we come back to SF, this will be a top choice to stay.

We had a nice experience staying with Peter- the house was in a lovely location and we enjoyed just being able to wander the city from his home. Peter showed us around and allowed us to easily make ourselves at home. If looking for a room in SF, we'd stay here again! Also, we loved that he left us some sparkling water in the room to enjoy- a treat:)

About the Host, Peter

I was born in Lansing, Michigan. While in grade school, I moved with my family to Grosse Pointe, Michigan and then Paris, France before settling in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I was there for six years, studying music at the University of Michigan, School of Music, obtaining a Bachelor and Master Degree in Music Performance. I then moved to San Francisco, California. My first apartment was a charming studio in the marina district, followed by a Victorian Flat on Nob Hill. Finally, I moved to my home on Hill Street in Noe Valley, where I have lived for 22 years. Since my arrival, this neighborhood has evolved into one of San Francisco's most exciting and dynamic locations.
